Table saw extension wing/Router table

After getting into more advanced projects it was time to get a router table but, I did not quite have the space in my shop so I had improvise. I did not have very good wings on my Delta table saw so I decided to replace the wings with better ones and add a router insert so I could have that router table without loosing floor space. This project turned out better than I expected. The hardest part of the project was getting my new wings exactly flush with the table saw. I used 3/4 inch birch plywood for the top which I then laminated to create a smooth surface. I also supported the table top on all four sides and two extra supports underneath for support with 1×4’s. The table top is very sturdy and level. I bought a router insert from rockler to hold my porter cable router. The insert was pretty easy to install and works great. As far as the fence goes, I am going to use my table saw fence as the base and add onto it to make a nice router fence. (next project) This was a pretty cool project that I am happy to have done so I can use my router to its full capabilities.

You did a nice job on the tale and insert. I have basically the same saw and it came with cast iron wings that took some time but I managed to get the whole table level. I recently added a cast iron router table in the same place as yours except mine isn’t as wide as yours because the iron wing is still on the table. The cast iron RT makes the saw even more stable than before. Nice idea on the mounting bolts for the table and great work.
